I worked for The Revere Group, Headquartered in Chicago. In 2002 my manager offered to pull down his pants and allow me to use his male appendage as a pacifier. I filed a complaint with HR, and he admitted doing this. After the investigation, we reached a soultion in that a permanent letter would be placed in his file.

In the fall of 2006, the Corporate HR manager contacted me and asked for permission to remove the letter from the file. I was advised that their legal counsel required that I submit my authorization for removal in writing.

Over six months, I continued to received requests to remove the entry from his file. In the six month, he sent an email to the Corporate HR Manager asking on th status. In the email he referneced his 10 year anniversary date coming up on the 31st of March.

A few days later, I get an email form the Corporate HR Manager, that I needed to provided the sign authorization by the 31st of March.

I did not do it.

In October of 2007, my new manager informed me that he should take me out back and shoot me. In April of 2008, he shared that story with Shindengen America, in a joint meeting.

And yes, I do have complaints pending before the EEOC on these matters, soon to be followed by legal aciton.

My husband and I moved to arkansas in 2006 from Pasadena California with our 3 daughters. My midddle child is a type 1 diabetic also 504 student. She has her insulin on school premises at all times in case of emergencies. Administrators at the school were fulllThe first week of school, my daughter was assaulted by a large male band teacher named Mr. Thomas. He slammed her hands in the lockers, causing her finger tips to go numb for several days, then grabbed her with such force to leave his finger prints on her arms. My other daughter happened to come out of class and witnessed the hold incident while standing next to the principle Dr. Wallace. As she went to the office to use the phone to inform her parents of the incident, the principle refused to let her call home. The principle then instructed the resourse officer to arrest my child. He grabbed her and threw her into the office causing her to loose her balance and said, "now you are under arrest for disorderly conduct". She asked again may I please call my parents. Denied again. My other daughter then told them her sister had a medical condition she needs to call home. Denied again. The resourse officer asked the administrators to check the file to see if she did have a condition. 45 mins after the incident, my husband and I were called. As we drove into the school parking lot, the paramedics were coming behind us with sirens going. Police camera men were called because the bruises on her arm were vivid, pictures were takin. After paramedics checked my child, I was told her sugar levels were way over 300 and either I take her to the hospital or they would. While attending Lakewood School many many other incidents happened, but the ones that really stands out for me are these, my daughters sugar level dropped to 45 while in class, the teacher refused to let her go to the office to get a snack to raise her sugar level up, she told her to wait 5 more min. for the bell to ring. 2 weeks after school started, my older daughter was in a fight with some girls that had been bullying her because she was from california. She was placed under arrest for disorderly conduct, they were taking her into another office, my 504 child was left alone, the bus had left, her dad had the only car at work, so she asked the officer if she could go with him where he was taking her sister. The officer walked up to my child tripped her, causing her to fall with her school books face forward, grabbed her by the back of her hair slamming her to the ground causing a closed head injurie to the back of her head, placed his knee in her stomach, and his elbow in her throat until she said I can't breath. After so many other incidents happened I took both my girls out thru christmas vacation to try and let things cool off. My daughter begged me to take her out. I thought things would get better. The day before school was to reconvene, my child took 200 units of insulin trying to make herself sick so she would'nt have to go back to this school. This landed her in a hospital on suicide watch. Thats when I took her out. When she got out of the hospital, I transferred her to Pulaski Co. She had'nt been there 2 weeks when I got a call from a police officer stating my daughter was taken to jail and charged with 1st degree assault with intent to injure a teacher. When we arrived at the detention center we asked the arresting officer if he had did an investigation before she was arrested. He said "the teacher said she did it, I have no reason to investigate". My daughter servered 7 days in jail, about 11 days out of school. When my husband and I appealed the decision to expell my child, thats when the investigation was done. She was found not guilty of all charges by the school, the school also admitted that her 504 plan had been violated. An investigation should have been done before she was arrested. By this time, my daughter had 2 disorderly conducts, 1 resisting arrest, 1 first degree Assault with intent to injure. After being put on probation for 1 year the courts dropped all charges. This year, after all that has happened to my girls, I refuse to put them back into a system that has no regards for my childs illness. I tryed to put them into LRSD, I was told by the NLRSD I could'nt transfer them because they were black. To date, my girls don't have a school to go to. Please Help

MAD MOM
PS
I have been looking for someone to represent me in a civil lawsuit against both school districts to no avail

Okay people this is by far the dumbest and most ubsceen thing that I have heard in a long time. Parents are complaining about video games are the reason that there are shootings in our schools and kids are acting up more and more. To all of those parents and all other people out there saying these things, SHUT UP. You dont know what you are talking about because if this was true you would for one have kids jumping off of buildings while shooting guns and you would have kids running around with grenade launchers, lazer guns and all sorts of weird weapons. If it was the video games that were causing this them why werent kids doing what they were doing back in the 90s when games like contra and metroid were out. You know why they werent acting up like that, because it aint the video games, maybe the parents of these kids should be having a finger pointed at them. Now I dont know these kids that have shot up schools nor do I know there parents so I cant point my fingers at them, but I can say this. While I play certain video games I dont have one urge to shoot anyone nor do I ever have an urge to steal a car. You know why, because my parents raised me othere wise. Like I said I am not blaiming these parents specificly but maybe they should be looked at instead of these video games.

THE LOUD LINE: Look parents its easy, if you dont want your kids playing these games, then dont let them play while living under your roof. But who do you think you are trying to tell me what my kids can or cannot play in my home. Worry about yourself and everything will be just fine.

February 2, 2007 The Westchester Guardian Two William Street Suite 406 White Plains, New York 10601 About the article entitled “Al Got His License Back”, had you researched the facts it would have been discovered that Al’s license was suspended for three years. Al must have retained a good rabbi who influenced the Appellate Judges to ignore the law and give Al what the law did not entitle him to get. Section 90(4)(F) of the Judiciary Law of New York provides that an attorney who has been convicted of a felony in a court is automatically disbarred. Submitting false tax returns for the purpose of defrauding a State or the United States of the payment of taxes is a felony. Al got himself a good rabbi to have the corrupt Judges ignore the law when issuing a suspension rather than a disbarment. As stated in your article, Al violated the terms of his suspension when he appeared before administrative agencies on behalf of clients who no doubt paid him. This fact was overlooked. Why didn’t the State seek to recover the tax underpayments? I could have used Al’s rabbi in my case. I was disbarred when I did not commit any crime and no client filed a complaint. So much for equal justice. My story may be found on my web site Nojust.com

On November 2, 2006, the New York Times printed an article entitled “Immigrant Worker’s Rights Violated, A.C.L.U. Charges” by Nina Bernstein. The article reported that the American Civil Liberties Union has accused the United States of failing to protect basic work place rights guaranteed by international law. The charges were included within a petition addressed to the Inter American Commission on Human Rights, an arm of the organization of American States, an organization including the thirty-five nations within the Western Hemisphere. The question raised is “How much protection is to be given to some body who isn’t to be here?” This case is like an uninvited person who sneaks into a house, eats the food in the refrigerator and then complains of a stomach ache. The immigrants referred to in this article, entered the country illegally and whatever befalls them is the risk they undertook. The solution to this problem is to penalize the employer, enforce the law and eliminate illegal immigration. The article refers to the 2002 decision of the United States Supreme Court that upheld limitations on illegal immigrant’s rights arising from their work and therefore the decision of the United States Supreme Court can not be over turned by a decision of the Inter American Commission. The A.C.L.U. gets donations from people who are concerned about violating Americans’ civil rights and not some fabricated rights created by illegal immigrants.

The crime of treason carries the penalty of death. Treason is defined as an act committed by an American citizen who has provided aid and comfort to an enemy at war with the United States. The Islamic terrorists are and have been at war with the United States. In June 2005, some Moslems were convicted of committing terrorist acts against the United States. One of the defendants was a leader of a terrorist cell in Egypt. While in jail in the United States, the defendant retained Lynn Stewart, an attorney who had represented unpopular criminal defendants before. Ms. Stewart was directed by the Trial Judge to refrain from carrying messages from the defendant to other terrorists who were otherwise unable to communicate with the defendant. Ms. Stewart did not follow the instructions of the Trial Judge and communicated messages from the defendant to members of his terrorist cell. Ultimately, Ms. Stewart was convicted for these acts and was subject to the penalty of death. However, Ms. Stewart had performed good services for other indigent clients and the Court directed that Ms. Stewart be confined in a Federal prison for thirty months. Apparently, Ms. Stewart had obtained a free get out of jail card. With good behavior, Ms. Stewart may be released after serving only twenty months. Compare this sentence with that given to Enron officials such as Jeffrey Schilling. Once CEO of Enron, Mr. Schilling received a sentence of twenty-four years for betraying Enron stockholders, employees and others. Who was the greater threat to the security of the United States?

During World War II, some Americans of German descent formed a bund to sabotage the American war effort. Today, America has a new fifth column undermining the effort of the United States to conduct of the war in Iraq. This fifth column operates under the name of KBR, a subsidiary of a company named Halliburton. Before taking office as The Vice President of the United States, Dick Cheney was the CEO of Halliburton. When he took office, Mr. Cheney placed all his substantial stock holdings in Halliburton in a blind trust to be released to him when he leaves office. Through its subsidiary, KBR, Halliburton contracts with the United States Government in amounts exceeding twenty billion dollars to provide housing, food, fuel and other necessities to the American military and U.S. Officials in Iraq. KBR also agreed to restore the crucial Iraqi oil infrastructure. Halliburton has been accused of systemically engaging in a practice aimed at veiling its business practices in Iraq. A Halliburton subsidiary has been subject to a long running investigation involving billions of dollars in contracts it received for work in Iraq and has systematically misused federal rules to withhold basic information on its practices from American Officials, a Federal oversight agency has concluded. To date, Halliburton is subject to a growing investigation and has already paid substantial penalties. The facts show clearly that Halliburton is withholding the services and materials needed by the military and government officials to wage the war in Iraq. This conduct has resulted in the death and wounding of hundreds of American soldiers and has hindered the war effort. Halliburton is withholding data as to its true business practices by reason that it may be accused and charged with the crime of submitting false claims to the government. Halliburton is withholding the requested data because it has something to hide. The military can not be sacrificed for Halliburton to show an attractive financial statement.

Embryonic stem cells are the precursor to almost every tissue in the body. Advocates of their use in research say they hold more potential to cure spinal cord injuries, diabetes and other diseases than adult stem cells. Opponents contend that embryonic stem cells can destroy the embryos when used and this is tantamount to abortion. Those who condemn the use of embryonic stem cell research contend that adult stem cells should be the preferred course. President Bush vetoed a bill that would have funded stem cell research using left over fertility clinic embryos that are otherwise discarded. Republican law makers had enacted a law to fund such research but the President elected to veto the bill to satisfy the demands of the conservative Christians who believe that any procedure that might fall within the definition of abortion is necessarily suspect and should not be performed. Mr. Michael Fox, the actor, has been suffering from the effects of Parkinson Disease for fifteen years. He has advocated for further embryonic stem cell research. Uncontrollable shaking and stiffness of the nerves are symptomatic of Parkinson’s disease. Mr. Rush Limbaugh, a hired shill for the conservative right, acted sadistically, viciously and insensitively when ridiculing Mr. Fox regarding a recent television appearance by Mr. Fox in which Mr. Fox exhibited convulsions and shaking while advocating for stem cell research. In his natural cruel personality, Mr. Limbaugh mimicked the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease to show that Mr. Fox was acting when Mr. Fox experienced the symptoms of the disease. Mr. Limbaugh later apologized. Well, Mr. Limbaugh has yet to repent for his vicious, cruel and insensitive behavior towards Mr. Fox and his sponsors should be concerned about the effects upon the public as to the costs the stupid acts Mr. Limbaugh may perform. Many Americans know first hand the effects of diabetes as well as the daily use of insulin to avoid possible loss of limbs or other organs. Other Americans are unable to perform simple tasks because of the disabling effects of spinal injuries. It is difficult to appreciate that a potential cure must be put aside because a stem cell from an embryo enjoys the same protections as a fully developed human being. It is difficult to understand why a potential cure for cancer, Parkinson’s disease or other disease must be rejected and those suffering from such diseases continue to suffer without hope. Sacrifices by the few should be made to protect the many.

The citizens of McMinnville? Tennessee thought they reached the American Dream while employed by the Carrier Corporation, an industrial air conditioning manufacturer that hummed with jobs initially paying $15.00 per hour along with benefits and vacations. With this salary, the workers moved up into the middle class of America. The American dream turned into a nightmare when the Carrier Corporation announced it was shutting down the profitable plant and moving its facility to Mexico pursuant to the North American Free Trade Agreement. This relocation created 1300 unemployed former employees with no other available employment. These employees went from the haves to the have nots with one stroke of the presidential pen when the NAFTA bill was signed. This was another act of the administration’s war on the middle class, when so many good paying jobs become out sourced to foreign workers and American workers are left unemployed or employed at a lower wage. Jobs are sent to Mexico for illegal unskilled uneducated immigrants who are mostly high school drop outs and who compete with Americans for low paying jobs How can American companies compete with countries who freely send this country their products produced by poverty level workers? Unless agreements like NAFTA are repealed, many members of the American middle class will be government employees, retailers and sellers of foreign made products. That based on the billions of dollars in the form of monthly trade deficits, the cost of war in Iraq, the losses from corruption and waste, the cost of welfare benefits, and the interest on borrowed monies, this country may become a third world country seeking financial aid from rich countries in order to exist. Unemployment checks do not last forever.

WHEN SOME COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY LIONS ROARED This is what some students did when they went on a rampage and stormed on to the auditorium stage to attack a Mr. Jim Gilchrest who was then a guest speaker. Mr. Gilchrest is the founder of the Minute Men project, a group who patrol the border between the United States and Mexico. When rushing the stage and over turning chairs and tables to prevent Mr. Gilchrest from speaking, these storm troopers imitated the Nazi Storm Troopers of 1934. These storm troopers are members of an organization called The International Socialist Organization and they were proud to unfurl their banner stating “NO BODY IS ILLEGAL”. Like the German Nazis who were part of the Nationalist Socialist Party, these students enjoy snuffing out free speech. Rather than simply avoid Mr. Gilchrest’s speech while protesting peaceably outside the building, these hooligans engaged in mob rule. Mr. Gilchrest, an invited guest, was entitled to speak freely. Security guards escorted Mr. Gilchrest out the back door rather than confront the storm troopers and possibly arrest them. Mr. Gilchrest did not get an opportunity to finish his remarks. He was not the only one escorted out of the building, however. The security guards then escorted the fearful audience away although the audience had paid to hear Mr. Gilchrest speak. The storm troopers had jumped up on the stage to terrorize the audience as they raised their fists and chanted triumphantly “These racist individuals head a project that terrorizes immigrants on the U.S. Mexican Border". One student protestor, a Mr. Ryan Fuhamore, shouted “They have no right to speak here”. What is clear is that these misfits have no right to a college education that is partially paid for by the United States Government. Rather than have these hoodlums arrested for crimes including assault, riot, reckless endangerment, hate and destruction of property, the college security personnel did nothing; thereby condoning and encouraging these criminal acts to be repeated. The best way to avoid these criminal acts is to permanently expel these criminals and allow the other students to enjoy the freedom granted to them. In this circumstance, the rule of law took a vacation.
After leaning of the riot, the President of Columbia University, Mr. Lee Bollinger amazingly stated “We have to see if the conduct of these students violated any University rules”. When did college rules usurp enacted laws? As a citizen, the President of Columbia University is required to inform the police of the commission of a crime such as that engaged in by these storm troopers. By not reporting the crime, the President of Columbia University obstructed justice. In an article in the New York Times on October 13, 2006, a dean of the University, Mrs. Lisa Anderson commented about the melee and stated “ It is the irony of being a liberal to entertain the ideas of others including and perhaps especially those of people who wouldn’t necessarily agree to entertain your ideas”. This creates a great policy debate. Mrs. Anderson went on to state that “protesters are entitled to their principles and their pain but not to bad behavior. Disciplinary action is possible”.

What do you education hypocrites mean when you say that “disciplinary action is possible”? These storm troopers were in the view of hundreds of people when they began their rampage. What further evidence for punishment is needed? According to Mrs. Anderson, “ One of the things a university should represent is a protected place for people to say unpopular things. Free speech is important and loathsome ideas are sometimes the cost of free speech. Ultimately, the way one gets to the truth is the market place of ideas”. So where are the security procedures that make Columbia a safe place? The answer is no where. Joining the fray of violent protests, one should look to the students at Gallaudet University, a school for the deaf. These students shut down the school for two days when protesting against the appointment of a new President, Mrs. Jane K. Fernandez. Mr. I King Jordan, the departing President stated “This illegal and unlawful behavior must stop by reason these students could face suspension and arrest”. It is not fair to the students illegally barred from receiving the benefits of a college education by these criminals. Examples should be made to all other illegal protesters, Get expelled and go to jail. Those members of the faculty who support this illegal conduct should be dismissed. On October 14, 2006, the New York Times reported that the police arrested sixty protesting students after a three day seizure of Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. These students tried to influence the board of the University as to who should be president of the school. Columbia University might take a lesson from Gallaudet.
